Faculty of Science and Engineering
Creating a better and sustainable future is the fundamental reason of research and education in natural sciences and engineering. FNT develops solutions and processes that slow down climate change, promotes a cleaner environment and healthier sea, and finds methods for detecting, treating and preventing diseases. Our ultimate goal is for people to prosper in a sustainable society.
We conduct research in extensive co-operation with industries, research institutes and other universities both nationally and internationally. The faculty operates in Turku and Vaasa.
The faculty is composed of ten subjects and subject clusters, and two separate units. FNT has about 460 employees, 1650 students and 330 doctoral researchers. Almost half of the budget is external funding (ca 20 million euro) and the research at the faculty is presented in about 600 publications a year.
Be the solution.
